                       Amendment to the Stock Option Plan

1)       The  definition  of the Common Share Maximum as defined in Section 4(a)
         of the Stock Option Plan has been amended from 1,050,000  Common Shares
         to 2,243,525 Common Shares.

2)       Section 7 "Vesting of Stock Options" has been amended to read:

         Stock Options will vest on the date (the  "Vesting  Date") the Optionee
         becomes  entitled to exercise  that portion of the granted Stock Option
         and  purchase  that  portion of the Common  Shares as  determined  by a
         vesting schedule. This vesting schedule will be determined by the Board
         of Directors of the  Corporation,  and modified  from time to time,  in
         their sole discretion.  Unless modified by the Board of Directors,  25%
         of a Stock Option shall vest one year from the date the Stock Option is
         granted (the "Grant  Date") and an  additional  25% of the Stock Option
         shall vest on each  successive  anniversary of the Grant Date until the
         Stock Option is fully vested.
